I traveled to a place with no lights once. The area had no electricity. Let me tell you, the night sky was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen and I will never forget it.

When you can see the milky way with your raw eyeball it is a wonder.

There is definitely something to it and we simply don't receive in the civilized world.

The darkness reveals the light if you will. To much light and we can't see it.

To someone who has never seen it, the picture in the article may seem like Bolognese cgi or something...but it's pretty accurate. Could you imagine looking up and seeing that everyday?

Just the other day, I was talking with a friend who told me that, when he was younger, he used to go with a group of enthusiasts, with their telescopes and camera equipment, to open fields hundreds of miles "from civilization" here in Spain. The results were the same that you just described. I just realized that I've never "truly" seen the stars and, somehow, is something that I really need to do at least once in my lifetime. Thank you for reminding me!
